- Whisk egg yolks and sugar over a double boiler until thick and pale; let cool slightly.

- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into mascarpone mixture.
- Mix eggnog, espresso, and rum (if using) in a shallow bowl.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the liquid—don’t soak—then line a square dish with a layer.
- Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg.

Notes
For a festive twist, try adding a splash of peppermint extract or crushed ginger snaps. Homemade eggnog can be used for an extra personal touch.
